I'm 40. It's time to give up booze. I don't think I’m an alcoholic but I know that I drink too much when I’m stressed. I have had a drink on every night of every day for as long as I can remember. It got to the point where a bottle of wine wasn't enough in a night and to me it has become something that bothers me. So, as of Sunday 5th august (my first day back from holiday) I have quit the terrible booze. This is a blog of my experience. Booze Away!

Update

It's been along time since I have posted here and about 2 and a half years since I gave up alcohol. It's been ok but not very socially acceptable to be a non drinker.

I have really missed drinking wine when I took a vacation in the South of France and also when we had a wonderful dinner with some friends and a different, very good wine was served with each course. Those 2 are the only 2 times when I have thought it would be nice to take a glass or two.

Sometimes I miss the fuzzy edges and the ability of alcohol to make the world seem a less stresful place for a couple of hours.

Other than that, I am glad to see the back of it. Thanks to Nike Plus, I am addicted to running anyway. A much healthier addiction at that.
